Notes

  • To make fried onions you can either deep fry the sliced onions in sufficient oil or you can fry the onions in 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp ghee in a saucepan on low to medium flame until perfectly caramelized.
  • Vegetarians can use mushrooms, soya chunks or paneer instead of chicken.
  • Switch off the flame at the slightest smell of burning.
  • I have used store-bought biriyani masala, you can also use homemade masala.
